Replication Package Readme

Software Requirements: results in this replication package were generated using Matlab R2019b, Knitro 12.0.0, and R version 3.6.1.

Two primary scripts generate everything required to reproduce all results, tables, and figures in the paper and Online Appendix.  The Matlab script "replicate_results.m" reproduces all results pertaining to various (learning and no-learning) specifications of our structural model.  The R script "make_figs_table3.R" then takes output from the Matlab script to generate figures, and it also reproduces Table 3.

The root folder of the replication package should be set as the Matlab working directory.

The R script "make_append_reduced_form_tables_and_figs.R" in folder Appendix_A2 reproduces Tables A2 and A3 and Figures A1 and A2.
